The melancholy intelligence of the loss of the | U. 8. brig Somers, and thirty seven of the crew, | reached this city by the Southern mail, yesterday | afternoon. At the time the catastropke occurred, | it appears that the vessel was under aheavy press | of canvas, in order to cut off a vessel which her | eommander supposed intended to run the block- ade. Fall particulars will be found in another column. The country will sincerely lament the fate of Passed Midshipman John R. Hynson. Our read- ers will recollect that he was one of the gallant spirits who set fire to the brig Creole, which was moored to the walls of the Castle of San Juan, | and who sustained a severe injury by a burn, caused by firing his pistol into the magazine of gunpowder. Lieutenant Parker, another of that gallant band, is among those saved. It will be perceived that some brilliant instances of self-devotion were exhibited during the crisis, which we believe have never been exceeded, and which prove the noble spirit that pervades both officers and men in our navy. After Captain Semmes had ordered a boat with Midshipman Clark, Doctor Wright, Purser Steele, besides se- venteen men, to pull for Green Island, those in the boat frequently solicited, by name, each of the officers on the wreck to take their places in the boat, and implored Passed Midshipman Hynson, | who was partly disabled from doing anything to | save himself, on account of his injuries, to go in | her. Several of them even jumped out to make | room for him. This gallant young man preferred, however, toshare the fate of the noble vessel, and perished with her. Even after Mr. Hynson had refused to accept these kind offers, several of the men wanted to leave the boat and share the fate of their officers. We question if such incidents of disinterested devotion have ever before occur- red, and they prove conclusively the good feeling and discipline that exist between the officers and crew. ‘The Somers was named after Lieutenant So- mers, who volunteered to destroy some vessels of the enemy during the war with Tripoli. With several boats, containing gunpowder and picked crews, he left our ships in the Mediterranean, and some time after they started, a brilliant flash, fol- lowed by a loud-explosion, was seen, and the gal- lant Somers was never afterwards heard of. It was supposed at the time, thata hot shot from the enemy hit the boats, and blew them and all on board to atoms. We hope to be able to give in to-morrow’s pa- per # full account of the hazardous expedition of Passed Midshipman Rogers, of the Somers, a few days before she was lost. He left his vessel and landed on shore, for the purpose of making a reconnoisance of the magazine at Vera Cruz, with the view of marking its locality so that it might be reached by shell from our navy, or of blowing it up himself, if an opportunity offered. While en- gaged in this undertaking, he was unfortunately detected and made prisoner. Truly, the toast given by one of our naval com- manders, ata public dinner, # short time since, ‘was an appropriate one. the toast, and “ opportunity” is all our gallant na- vy officers want to distinguish themselves, and | perform deeds of valor unparalleled in any country. When was Gun Cotton Discovered ? Tv is an important scientific question. The claim to original discovery of gun-cotton, by Professors Schoenbein, Otto, and others, must be founded on the ingenuity of the name which they have appliea to a familiar compound of sul- phur, nitric acid, and cotton, whose explosive properties have been known to the world as long ago as nitric acid and gun powder were known to be made from saltpetre. The principle is laid down in chemical work bothold and new. In Brande’s Chemistry, edi- tion of 1836, it is stated, notas a new thing, but asan old established truth, that nitrie acid will communicate to silk and other substances of ani- mal and vegetable origin, the property of burning like gun powder. Thefulminating mercury used | in priming percussion caps, as is well known, derives its explosive properties from nitric acid. Mercury, or silver, like cotton, and many other substances, act as mordants in holding the nitro- oxygen of the acid in such a feeble state that a very low temperature, and even the warmth of moderate fiiction, will cause an explosion. The chemical aflinity petween potash and nitric acid, forming nitrate of potash, more generally known as nitre, or saltpetre, and the decompositien of that salt by ignited charcoal and sulphur, com- prise the whole theory and practice of gun pow- der. Gunpowder, as is well known, is composed of Charcoal. Nitro, or saltpetre. Sulphur. And gun cotton is composed of Cotton, instead of coal. Nitric acid, instead of nitre Sulphur, from sulphuric acid. Tae use of cotton or other ligneous fibre, in- stead of charcoal, for gun-powder, has been often urged by various writers; and the use of nitric acid, instead of nitre, which constitutes the prin- cipal difteronce between “ gun cotton” and gun- powder, cannot claim the idea of novelty among those acquainted with the two substances, or fa- miliar with the cause of explosions. Saltpetre is composed of nitric acid and potash, in the pro- | portion of 9 of the foriner to 8of the latter. The | 7 explosive force of gun-powder and of gun cot. | ton,” in both cases, results from the nitro-oxygen, | set free by combustion. The proportions are | relatively— | Nit Aci | Siro . il & Potash } Pouscinms 40) Im other words, saltpetre furnishes in 102 parts, while dry nitric acid is entirely composed of these two elements. Sulphur, by igniting ata jow temperature, adds quickness, and, conse- quently, force, to explosions of this kind; but it i ‘altpetre. may be dispensed with in “gun cotton” and in | gunpowder, as was abundantly shown in the ex- | 13 to 1. “Opportunity” was | | plosion of Messrs. Crocker & Warren’s store in 1845, where 340,000 pounds of nitre and about a | million pounds of carbonaceous matter, without sulphur, caused a most terrible explosion. Mr. C. F. Durant, in his letter to the Mayor on the sabject of that explosion, says: “‘Wood, coffee, sumac, safflower,Para hats, hempen sacks, shel- lac, c., matter proved to have been in the store, will, either of them, alone, dny two, or the whole of them combined, explode saltpetre, without the aid of sulphur.” The Broad street explosion does not appear to have included cetton in the list of articles destroyed; but it was otherwise | prolific of “gun wood,” “*gun coffee,” ‘gun | sumac,” &c.; and, in point of period of time, it certainly preceded any European claim to dis- | covery of “gun cotton.” It is difficult, if not impossible, to make a large | quantity of “ gun cotton” of a uniform strength. It would cost 50 cents per pound, which is four times the price of gunpowder. It is inconvenient and unsafe, in practical use, on account of ignit- ing at too low a temperatare, as, for instance, of a heated gun; and, if a small piece be touched with linseed, or other drying oil, it may, in days or months thereafter, spontaneously ignite in the magazine of a ship or fort. At page 345 of the saltpetre report is an account of two ships that were blown up by that means. ‘The gun-powder used by the United States go- vernment costs thirteen cents per pound; it is made by manufacturers in various States of the | | Union, and is required to be of a definite and | | uniform strength; but it is not as strong as the sporting powder of commerce, and it is much weaker than powder that can be made from pure salt-petre and charcoal of soft porous wood, such | | as willow, poplar, &c. The open and finely di- | vided particles of cotton render it a good substi- | tute for charcoal in gun-powder ; but like charred willow, it would increase the price of the powder beyond what consumers would be willing* to | pay for it.

News From Boston anp ALonG Snort—An Ex- yress.—The Long Island train arrived at 8 o’clock | last evening, with a large number of passengers. | The heavy rain here in the morning was snow of considerable depth at the eastern end of the Island. | _ The train which left Brooklyn at 2 o’clock, for | Stonington and Providence, via Greenport, arriv- ed there at 5 P.M. and left in the. New Haven, | to cross to Stonington. | | This is a most delightful night route to Boston and Providence. The Sound is crossed early in the evening. An express from New York to Boston, via Long | Island, has been arranged—supposed by govern- ment—with a view of transmitting the latest Mex- ican news to the steamer to leave Boston to-mor- row. | | | | Swan we wave a Raivroap to THE Paciric 1— | | It will be seen by a call, published in another column, that a meeting of our citizens is called to consider the policy of Mr. Whimey’s proposed railroad from Lake Michigan to the Pacific. It is a scheme’ which from the first we have advo- { cated, as a great national desideratum, and as worthy of the attentive consideration of Congress. Much usefu' information will be adduced on the occasion. Our Navy.—Several days ago a letter appeared in our paper relative to the execution, some time since, of a mutinous sailor in the Gulf Squadron. | That execution appeared to be absolutely neces- sary for the discipline of the squadron. | Sreamsurr Caneponia, from Boston, arrived at | Halifax on the 19:h inst., at 10 A. M., and left in | the afternoon for Liverpool. | One Day Laren From France.—The packet | ship Iowa, Capt. Lines, arrived yesterday from Havre, whence ske sailed on the 3d instant, thus | making the run over the Atlantic in twenty-six | days. | Our files of Le Commerce, Galignani, etc., con- | tain no news of consequence. | They are filled with articles relative to the con« | nf | fiscation*of Cracow. We give the following—ut is the only paragraph that we can find :— | Panis Stock Excnanen, Dec. 1, half past four—The | weal which declared itself yesterday towards the close of business seemed inclined to continue to day, | and all kinds of securities were at first offered. About two o'clock, however, mi 6 changed, eneral | improvement took place. The Three per Cents opened at Slfr 60c., fell to Sifr. 50c., and closed at 8ifr. 85c.— After the Bourse they were done at Sifr. 9c. The continuations for the Threes were at first at par, and af | terwards at 12}4. The Fives were firmer all day than | the Threes, andshow an advance on the prices ef the | day before.’ The contiauations on them were at 2734.— For account, fives have risen 30c; Thre unvaried; Roman has fallen 4. For cash, Fives have risen 10c: ‘Threes have fallen 10c. Railway shares at first inclined | downwards, but afterwards recovered, and closed at | about the prices of the day beiore. The continuations | were unusually low, many of the lines | par, or with a profit. eing cither at Musi Tue Arot.oxgoxs—The farewell concert of these children takes place this evening at the Tabernaclo, and | for the sake of the reputation of our citizens, as patrons | of deserving genius, we hope to see the building crowd- | ed. The instruments on which they perform are, the violin, the viola, violoncello and piano, nor is their per- | formance a mere specimen of mechanical difficulties ! overcome; on the contrary, it is expressive, harmonious, | pleasing, imbued with the soul of genius, and evincing an advance in musical science almost incredible in chil, dren of such tender years. At the St. George's Society | through the scene, and | visit Old Bowei | Concert, on Monday evening, the large audience joined formers the very highest meed of prai formance of young Anne Maria Cole, on the piano, was such as drew from Herz, who was present, most unqua- lified commendation. The vocal powers of this beautiful | child of but eight years, are as extraordinary as her in- | strumental execution ; her voice is sweet end clear, her | soprano notes exquisitely rich, her contralto full, deep and and the per- soft. The carols, glees and ballads, sung by the Masters Bullock and Cole, with little Anne, are not the least inter- esting part of the entertainment. This evening some | choice songs are selected, besides a variety of instrumen | tal pieces, the compositions of the great masters. We are | pleased to learn that Madame Ablamowicz, the unequal. | led vocalist, and Mr. Timm have in a mest creditable man- | ner volunteered their services on the occasion. Letour | public notice this, that artists who might be supposed to be satiated with music, yet have that interest in the prosperity of true genius, as to come forward voluntari ly to their benefit, We hope our citizens will notbe be- hind hand. Let all come, those who would enjoy a rich treat, and at the same time assist in removing difficulties from the path of genius en its road to perfection. Hewat Henz.—The inclement weather and an attack of illness compelled the “Emperor” to disappoint our neigh" bors at Brooklyn last evening, and his other engage ments will compel him to postpone his concert till next Wednesday night. We learn, by the byo, that at his concert in this city next week, a new feature ina musi cal way will be produced, of which more anon.

Governor Seward twice called the attention of the Legislature to erect pump works like those of Onondaga, to revive the works. If our memory serves us, it was never done. ‘The salines on Onondaga Lake were found out from the Indians, in 1788, by Comtort Tyler, Esq. He took an Indian guide in a canoe, and crossed the Lake to Mud Creek, and there lowered an iron vessel about five feet into the lake and came to salt water. By boiling the | water, salt was obtained The business was carried on rudely for mapy hie ona small scale. The Erie Canal added much to their importance, and since the com- pletion of that werk, the yearly increase has been rapid. ‘she State owns the springs Jand, and they cannot be sold. In 1822, hydraulic machinery for pumping was erected. The lessees are required to erect works, and no rent is paid except the duty. The increase of the manufacture of salt will be seen by the following table of the quantity annually made for the lost twenty-five years:— Myre ashels 827,508 The law of 1817 raised the duty to be paid for the use of the salines from 3 to 12g cents per bushel, which amount was pledged fe pay the Erie Canal loan. The Constitution of 1821 rat this pledge. In consequence of the duty being reduced by Congress on foreign salt, in 1832 the State reduced her tax on the Onondaga salt to 6cents a bushel, at which rate it continued until last season, when it was egain reduced to one cent per bushel, the United States tariff of 1846 having lowered the duty on focsiae salt to 20 per cent. These reductions were madein order to retain the market against the foreign article. Rising 000,000 have paid to the State within the last twenty-five years. i In order to compete with the salt of Pennsylvania and Virginia, the letter immense quantities into | Ohio, a move was made in 1841 toextend the market of the Onondaga salt into those States, and occupy the in- viting mart of the great west. An agent visited those States for observation, which resulted in allowing a drawback of part of the duties charged on the manut ture. ‘A drawback of three cents a®ushel on all salt shipped at Elmira, Oswego or Binghampton, down the Susque- hannah River; four cents per bushel at Beaver, Penn.; five cents ut Columbus or Portsmouth, Ohio; and also a drawback of 81 per cent on the amount of caval tolls for salt delivered at Beaver, Penn., or Portsmouth, Ohio, and all delivered at Troy or Albany free of State duty of 6 cents per bushel. ‘This gave a more extended market to the business, and as will be by the statistics presented al in- creased the manufacture. The intention, however, of gaining a market at Portsmouth, on the Ohio river, at th southern terminationof the O! Canal, or at Beav Penn., was never realized, as no applications were ever made for drawbacks at those poiots.

On and after Friday the 1st of Januery, 1847, the Inde- pendant Treasury Act will be strictly enforced. It will go into operation even if it should be modified or altered in | any way, ina week afterwards. It may be well enough to see what the effect of this act will be, before it is ut! ter/y condemned, that its most defective features may be more distinetly pointed out, and a prover remedy applied, ‘While the specie clause of that act is in operation, the Government; will not be able to make a direct loan upon any favorable terms, and the only alternative will be an issue of Treasury notes bearing six per cent inter, est, giving holders the privilege of turning these notes into stock at any ttme, having twenty years to run. This privilege would give them a value and a currency which they otherwise would not enjoy, and they would be more sought after, and not become se much depreciated asthey would without this method of disposing of them. By adopting this system, the government could get out an issue of thirty or forty millions of dollars, at a very alight depreciation at the extent, and the Independen; Treasury act, specie clause, and everything else attach ed to it, would have very little influence upon the finan. cial operations of the government, as these notes would have a tendency to increase the paper circulation of the country, and reduce the demand for specie to make payments into and from the public treasury. There isno Other way to neutralize the specie clause of the Inde, Dendent Treasnry act, but by a large issue of treasury ‘notes, and it is our impression that the Secretary of the ‘Treasury will be compelled to adopt that system of rais, ing money. The public depesits must be reduced toa very small amount, as the expenditures on account of the war have lately been very large, and the revenue from customs exceedingly limited. As yet nothing has bean done in Congress in relation to raising ways and means to carry on the war, and the Treasury will be empty before measures are taken to raise more money. There is very little probability, judging from the feeling among the western members of Gongress, of a duty being placed upon tea and coffee, and the amount required to meet the extraordinary ex- penditures, over and above that which the tariff, as it now stands, will produce, must be raised on the credit of the Government, and by loans at the most favorable de- preciation. Whatever may be the sacrifice, at which. money can be obtained, it must be submitted to. The financial skill of the Secretary ot the Treasury will be tried to its utmost before he gets out of the embarrass ments] the changes in the commercial and financial sys_ tem of the government, connected with the Mexican war, have produced. There could not have been a more unfavorable period pitched upon for the radical changes made in these two systems than this, particular. ly on account of the heavy expenditures growing out of this war. The tariff was cut down to a strict revenue standard, at atime above all others, when we wanted double the annual income from that source; and had thers been no alteration at all, the old tariff would have been far below a revenue standard, during the continuance ef the war. In connection with the reduction in the tariff, cume the Independent Treasury Act, establishing the finances of the government upon a specie basis, which is cal. culated to increase the value of money and reduce the supply, at atime when it is extremely important that money should be very cheap and plenty. These mea- sures, at a proper time, would have operated to a charm; they are perfectly well adapted to each other, and in fa- voratle times, would have hada very favorable effect upon the currency and commerce of the country. We are now in an embarrassed position, and the emergency requires measures particularly adapted to it, however temporary in their operation they may be. ‘The approaching annual election of the directors of the Long Island Railroad Company is one of no little im- portanee, both to holders of bonds and of shares, and we advise both to beon the gui vive, if they expect to pro- tect the bonds, or save the stock from annihilation. The net Joss on the business of the last year, ending August, 1846, (after. paying interest, $41,300, and rent to Jamaica Railroad Company, $33,300) was $68,409 74, viz :— Lone Istanp Raitroap.

Or, deducting the running expenses and repdirs only, from the gross receipts, there will remain $6,200 for the net profits of the road, leaving about $67,000 in. terestand rent unprovided for. The Boston day line proves a dead loss to the company, and should be die continued; the gross receipts for the past year, ending August, 1846, being only $54,000, while the expenses ex- ceeded $60,000; and since September the monthly loss on the “New Haven” has averaged $10,000 per month. It will be seen that the Long island Company pay the Jamaica Company for the control and use of their nine miles, more than five times the whole profit made on the whole 95 miles of road,including the Hempstead branch; or taking the way travel only, and the expenses of way Net profit of way-travel.

All the profit made io running cars is on the first fifty miles from Brooklyn; and unless thejBoston line be dis- continued, a vigorous retrenchment adopted, {the rent to the Jamaica company diminished, &c. &., the stock is irretrievably sunk and gone, and the $600,000 of bonds in great peril.
